As I'd say to my Kids Zipp it....
There is a time and place....
A sad day for her family, our nation, the stability that the Queen imparted will be sorely missed.....
Queen Elizabeth has passed away.

And a very specific thread isn't it. Ok.

I fully concur with AJB.
Secondly, Phil P. made a point without direct offence. He 'showed his colours' without making any tasteless reference today's news.

Regardless of individual opinions it's going to be very weird singing or listening to God Save The King after a lifetime of having a Queen.
Also, King Charles III has a certain irony for anti-royalists...

If we all did that, it wouldn't be much of a forum.

This is not the place to express your religious ideals.
Yes why did he feel the need to comment at all. Or was it just an opportunity not to miss out on being noticed. Silence is sometimes golden !Completely agree

Inane? I don’t think so.

However the media coverage is inane. Headlines this morning that "all of our hearts are broken" and their is an "outpouring of grief from everyone in the country" is simply nonsensical media frenzy.
I saw this quote from her Christmas speech 1957 which I liked
‘I cannot lead you into battle, I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else, I can give you my heart and devotion’
She certainly did that for 70 years. What a wonderful woman

It's not a debate on the monarchy.
The OP is expressing sympathy for those that feel the loss following hear death.
Why not let the bitterness out by starting your own thread instead of contaminating someone else's.

Ok then lets stick to the 'rules'....
I don't watch the Royals as I don't like them. I just have seen that the Queen has passed away.
I don't wish all her family and the nation much sympathy and may the change over be smooth.

Whatever your views on the monarchy I think we can all have respect for a lady who did her best to fulfil her duty for over seventy years, and mourn her passing. RIP Queen Elizabeth.
You don't have sympathy for the family whose mother/grandmother has just died? What does that say about you, whether the deceased be the queen or your next door neighbour?

Yes, her death is one thing. But what is happening around it is highly politicised. I think people should be allowed to point that out.

It's a shame that this thread hasn't been accepted by some for what the OP intended it to be - an expression of condolence at the passing of a 96 year old lady who is loved and respected by many (if not universally) and gave her life in service (regardless of views on the monarchy). The fact it's come from someone who runs the site and has a permanent reminder that anyone can sponsor the site on their messages is incidental and not an attempt to cash in on the situation.
She was a truly remarkable person.
